To set up RocketMod permissions on your FREAKHOSTING Unturned server, open Servers/PterodactylUnturned/Rocket/Permissions.config.xml in the File Manager, add the commands a group may use under <Permissions>, save and type /p reload in chat. Then add players to the group in game with /p add <player> <group>, for example /p add Nelson vip. RocketMod is already installed on our servers.

Before you start

  • You need admin rights on the server to use /p add and /p reload. See how to become admin.
  • Start the server once so RocketMod creates its files in Servers/PterodactylUnturned/Rocket/.

How to give a group a command

1

Open Permissions.config.xml

In the File Manager, open Servers/PterodactylUnturned/Rocket/Permissions.config.xml.
2

Find the group

Find the <Group> with the right <Id>, for example vip.
3

Add the permission

Add a line inside its <Permissions>. The text is the command name; Cooldown is the wait in seconds between uses:
4

Save and reload

Save the file. In game, type /p reload as admin, or restart the server.

How to add a player to a group

As an admin, type in chat:
The player must be online, or use their SteamID64 instead of the name. RocketMod writes the change to the file for you. To take someone out of a group:
You can also add the SteamID64 to the group’s <Members> in the file and reload.

How to make a new group

Copy an existing <Group> block inside <Groups>, then change <Id>, <DisplayName>, <Members> and <Permissions>. Set <ParentGroup>default</ParentGroup> so the group keeps the basic permissions. See permission groups explained for every field.

How to check a player’s permissions

Frequently asked questions

Why can a player still not use the command?

The permission name doesn’t match the command, the file has an XML error, or you didn’t reload. Use the command’s name exactly, such as v for /v, and type /p reload.

How do I let a group use a game command like /kick?

Add the command’s name, kick, or unturned.kick to the group’s permissions.

Can I give a group every command?

Yes, with the permission *. Only give it to people you trust as much as an admin.

Where do plugin permissions come from?

Each plugin lists its own permission names on its download page. Add them to a group the same way.
